The Department of Justice said Wednesday that Pam Bondi will not appear for her upcoming deposition in the House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation given that she is no longer serving as the US attorney general.

The department argued that Bondi was subpoenaed in her official role as attorney general and not in a personal capacity. As such, she won’t appear on Capitol Hill on April 14 to discuss her role overseeing the release of the Epstein Files, Assistant Attorney General Patrick D. Davis wrote in a letter to House Oversight Chairman James Comer.

    Right. So we just need Congress to do something it doesn’t want to do.

    The purpose of a system is what it does.

    I swear, this midterm is going to end up with another 45-50% voter turn out and people will continue to complain that nothing changes or has gotten worse.

    People: IF YOUR VOTE DIDN’T MATTER, THEY WOULDN’T BE SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY AND EFFORT TO KEEP YOU FROM VOTING!

    I don’t care if you live in a +60 (your political leaning) district. Vote in spite of that and make it +61.

    Vote in every god damn election you fucking can, down to School District Board elections and even HOA’s. My city councilman just lost reelection by 1 fucking vote to some douchbag who will probably get bought out by some data center asshole within a week, and even though turn out was historically high, it was still only 18-20%. And when i asked my very liberal neighbor if she and her husband voted, she said “No, we just didn’t have time”. 🤦🏻

    At least in my area, you are allowed to take time away from work to vote, it doesn’t matter what the election is for.

    KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AND FUCKING USE THEM!
